The 43rd Electronic Materials Conference (EMC) sponsored by the Electronic Materials Committee of TMS will be held at the University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana, from Wednesday, June 27 through Friday, June 29, 2001. The conference provides a forum for topics of current interest and significance on the area of preparation and characterization of electronic materials. Individuals actively engaged or interested in electronic materials research and development are encouraged to attend this meeting, and papers in this general subject area are solicited.

Substantial new investments in a wide range of academic programs, institutes, centers, and major facilities have marked the past several years at Notre Dame. Founded in 1842 by a priest of the Congregation of Holy Cross, Notre Dame is located north of the city of South Bend, Indiana, and about 90 miles southeast of Chicago. Its 1,250-acre-campus contains two lakes and 104 buildings with an insured replacement value of more than $875 million. The university’s Main Building with its famed Golden Dome is among the most widely known university landmarks in the world.
